Populating a Community from your database

Please Note: To use this function you must be using the FishBase database module.

• The system uses Mailing recipients from your database, so clear your current mailing and then add all of the people you want to add to your community.

• Then switch to the Communities page and visit the page for the Community you wish to invite new members to.

• Across the top of the page underneath the title of the community there is a list of options, select Members.

• This will then take you to a page with the current list of members of the community, from here select Invites.

• Then you will find the option to Pull recipients from current mailing along with the current number of people in your mailing list shown in brackets.

• Once you have clicked this link you will be taken to the page that shows you all the people in your current mailing recipient list along with how many will be added (those with no emails or with emails already matching existing invites won't be added).

• On this page simply click Create invites from recipients to create the invites.

• This will return you to the invites page once it is done with a confirmation message.

• Remember: they haven't yet been invited at this stage. You next can send out the emails from this page by selecting which ones you wish to invite then clicking Send invites to selected.
